The Pokemon Company has taken Pokemon to the next level and has brought the beloved Pokémon Pokedex from the 3DS to the iOS platform which includes iPhone and iPad. The app allows you to get down to the nitty gritty and see all the details of your captured Pokemon, stats, where to capture them, how to evolve them and much more.

You can purchase this app in iTunes for $1.99. The iOS Pokédex will get you access to Pokémon from the Unova region. The four remaining regions can be purchased for $5.99 each.
